The so-called "fruit", also called "gizzard", originally refers to all fried pasta, and here refers to "fruit with a wooden stick", which is actually fried dough sticks. Tianjin's pancake fruit is different from Shandong's pancake roll with green onions and miscellaneous grains pancakes, and it has its own characteristics.
Degang Guo once described the pancake fruit like this: "yellow bean, mung bean flour, stick flour and white flour together, boiled sheep bone soup with clear water to drink, and now fried fritters, eating small materials, mutton, fungus, etc., can eat more than a dozen kinds, which is crispy!"
The fruit is not so crisp. What is really crisp is the "grate". The thin flour cake is fried and foamed in the oil pan. After it is cooled, it is fragrant and crisp, and it is sandwiched in pancakes, so you can eat a unique fragrance.
Legend has it that pancake fruit was brought by a Shandong swordsman in the late Qing Dynasty. When he was in exile in Hangzhou, he accidentally missed the pancakes in his hometown, but he had to adapt to local conditions, and made deep-fried juniper (fried dough sticks), which was also very delicious-regardless of whether the legend is true or not, Tianjin pancake fruit, Shandong pancake and Hangzhou onion juniper are just members of a family!
In the eyes of Tianjin people, neither white flour nor miscellaneous grain flour can compare with fragrant mung bean flour. It is very difficult to spread the cake with pure bean flour, so we have to add some white flour to make the cake easier to shape.
Like the breakfast stalls in any city, as long as you have enough time and patience, you can get up early to visit the old shops in the streets. If you have a chance, try Yang Jie's pancakes with China on the tip of your tongue. Bring two eggs with you, and tell the boss that there is a set of pancake fruit, and one fruit and two eggs!
If you come to Tianjin and don't eat these delicious foods, you will come for nothing!

Vendors selling candy and food come and go in the hutong lane of old Tianjin. The sour-ground cake is really made of jujube noodles, and it is a big stone. It is sold in food stores or stalls, sometimes catching up with the rough processing, and it will be a bit awkward to eat.
When it comes to Tianjin cuisine, many people think of Goubuli steamed stuffed bun first. But for Tianjin people, it's not good to ignore the dog. Tianjin snacks are all-inclusive. They are home-flavored and never get tired of eating them. Although the value of Tianjin cuisine is average, the taste is nostalgic ~ Today, I will sort out one of the seven great cuisines in Tianjin!
1, pancake fruit
Pancake fruit is a snack of Tianjin people. Authentic pancake fruit is composed of mung bean pancakes, eggs, fried dough sticks or crispy "fruit grate", with flour paste, chopped green onion, Chili sauce (optional) and fermented bean curd (optional) as seasoning, which tastes salty and fragrant. Nowadays, the raw materials of pancake roe are not limited to pancakes spread from mung bean noodles, but also yellow bean, black bean noodles and many other options. However, Tianjin people still adhere to the traditional way of eating. The only ingredients used in authentic pancake fruit are mung bean noodles, fried dough sticks, chopped green onion, sesame seeds and other condiments.
2, sugar cake (sugar skin)
When I was a child, I always got up early to haunt my elders and went to buy breakfast. Just for this piece of candy skin. Watching the master take out a small lump of sugar dough from under the plastic sheet, the whole person was super excited. Pay attention to sugar noodles can also use brown sugar instead of soft sugar. The crispy taste of oil, the happiness of biting the sugar skin, I still love breakfast until now!
3. Gaba cuisine
The real name of "Gaba cuisine" should be "Guoba cuisine" and Tianjin dialect is called "Gaba cuisine". The crispy rice dish is made by grinding mung beans and millet into slurry, spreading it into thin and uniform pancakes (Tianjin people commonly call crispy rice), drying it, cutting it into willow-shaped strips, soaking it in plain brine, putting it in a bowl, and sprinkling sesame sauce, fermented milk, spicy oil, spicy paste, dried slices with brine and coriander foam. The crispy rice is tender and chewy, delicious and nutritious.

The braised pork is made of mung bean powder and fried with seasoning.
5. 18th Street Twist
Tianjin Twist is a famous spot of Han nationality with all colors and flavors. As early as more than 100 years ago, on the west side of the Haihe River in Tianjinwei, at the southern end of the bustling Xiaobailou, there was an alley called Eighteen Streets. In the original alley, there was a small twist shop with the name Guifaxiang.
6, sugar fried chestnuts
Chestnuts used to be dark brown, but the way people in the north eat them is different from that in the south. They stir-fry them with a huge blender and black chestnut stones, and then pour syrup into them. After the finished product, they are called "sugar-fried chestnuts." Chestnuts are rich in nutrition and have the reputation of "king of dried fruits". Chestnuts fried with sugar are dark brown, shiny, crisp and easy to peel, sweet and delicious.
7. Rolling around
Rolling on a donkey is one of the traditional snacks in Tianjinwei. The finished product is yellow, white and red, which is really beautiful. Because the yellow bean sprinkled in the final production process is like the bursts of loess raised by wild donkeys when they roll around, it is named "snowballing".
There are many kinds of famous food in Tianjin, and we won't talk about the most famous Goubuli steamed stuffed bun. Let's talk about Tianjin cuisine, which is full of explosions, three kinds of explosions, hot waist flowers, braised belly pieces, braised pork intestines, stir-fried shrimps, Four Joy Meetballs, braised pork, and Tianjin snack Twist. The local people especially like to eat local Twist.
There are also delicious Tianjin dishes, such as family photos, jumping carp, shredded chicken, crab yellow lion's head, fried green shrimp, etc. In the past, the chef of Hongqi Restaurant in Beima Road was a must for authentic Tianjin cuisine. Now I can make authentic family photos. Shredded chicken with vegetables. The chef of Tianjin cuisine with crab roe (powder) and lion's head is almost extinct. Tianjin cuisine has been lost, and some of them are not the same as before.
There are also Zhimeizhai sauce beef, Xiao Li roast chicken, Dousi beef offal noodles, braised pork, beef tongue tail, stewed sheep tail, mutton soup, coriander powder, roast duck, vegetarian steamed stuffed bun, gaba cuisine, northern series breakfast, big cakes and everything, too many. In fact, I think the most representative Tianjin cuisine is not only carp, but also Tianjin's unique eight treasures tofu. Of course, it would be even more beautiful if we could eat grilled vegan again!
Say a few things that Tianjin locals don't know, which are relatively grounded:
1. Ham sausage from Tianjin Meat Joint Factory, including welcome ham sausage, welcome ham sausage (equivalent to one-size thicker ham sausage) and welcome rose sausage (red skin with wine aroma ham sausage). These kinds of ham sausages taste like Shuanghui for hundreds of streets, and the taste is similar to bold wieners.
2. Spiced peanuts and spiced black beans
Tianjin's spiced peanuts (called "big nuts" locally in Tianjin) are full of grains, rich in five flavors, crispy and delicious; Spiced black beans (cooked broad beans) are also very good.
3. The pie rolls everything
Not the new one from KFC. Scrambled eggs with pancake rolls began to rise in Tianjin in the 1990s, and then gradually spread to tomato boxes with pancake rolls, lotus root boxes with pancake rolls, fried fish with pancake rolls, sausage with pancake rolls … until everything with pancake rolls.
Step 4 roll the coil
Similar to the spring rolls in the south, it is thicker than the spring rolls. The fillings are mainly bean sprouts and coriander, which are blended with fermented milk. Usually eaten in a pie roll, it is also one of the members of the pie roll.
We pay attention to eating and love to eat here in Tianjin. Starting in the morning, we will not talk about the old tofu crispy rice and pancake fruit, which is known all over the country. (But I will say that those pancake fruits with lettuce, ham and seafood are all fake, and those crispy white pancake fruits are not from here, and people here don't even look at them.). Poached eggs, fried cakes, and, well, that's about it. This is breakfast. Speaking of restaurants, there are several old brands in big restaurants, including Hongqi Restaurant, Banquet House, Dengying House and Zhengyangchun. But there are many franchisees now. If you want to eat, you can go to the head office. The more famous restaurants include Xiaoxiao Restaurant, Tongfa Restaurant and gracious copper pot. We like stuffing here, and steamed buns are jiaozi. If you don't go to Tianjin, you always feel unwilling to ignore the dog, right? I won't stop you from being happy, but we locals don't go there. Our famous steamed stuffed bun shop has Zhang Ji, Yongsheng, Stone Threshold, and Auntie in the old city. These are our favorite foods. When we come here, we have to eat back to Zhajiang Noodles. There are many dishes in Zhajiang Noodles, and we also have stir-fried dishes, sweet and sour gluten. You don't think so in other places. Fans, soybeans, anyway, there are quite a lot, and the rest are snacks, not to mention tea soup, cooked pear cake and twisted dough, but the three unique skills will take away the twisted dough, as well as cracked bean sheets. Besides, that's all I think of. Welcome to add.
Beijing and Tianjin can be reached by high-speed train in 30 minutes, but perhaps because the traffic is so convenient, I always feel that there are plenty of opportunities, so I have only been to Tianjin once so far, or because of work. The two-day schedule in Tianjin is very full. Fortunately, the place where we live is near the Haihe River, which is only ten minutes away from Guwen Street. After putting down our luggage, we will go out for a walk and try some snacks in Tianjin.
fried cake
A small frontispiece diagonally opposite the ancient culture street is the famous ear fried cake. Many people are waiting in line. Originally, they were not interested in this kind of food that tourists must eat, but they couldn't help but say that they had been to Tianjin without eating a fried cake. The skin is very thin, soft and waxy, but the bean paste stuffing wrapped inside is a little sweet, so there is nothing wrong with it. Comparatively speaking, the fried cake eaten in the vegetable market downstairs the next day tastes better, is bigger, has more stuffed bean paste, and its skin is crisper and not very sweet.
Coil
I ate it in the old vegetable market downstairs of the hotel. It looks like fried spring rolls, but the stall owner corrected me and said that the locals called it a "coil". In fact, the outer layer is the skin of spring rolls, which is filled with plain stuffing such as bean sprouts and dried bean curd. The crispness of the skin is worse, and the stuffing is a little greasy when it is returned to oil. It feels better to eat while people are just out of the pot.
Pancake rolled with crisp fritter
I have been listening to students in Tianjin talking about how delicious the local pancake fruit is in Tianjin. This time, I went to the vegetable market and chose a pancake with the most parties. Originally, in Beijing, I used to eat thin and crisp pancakes. On that day, my head smoked and chose fried dough sticks. As a result, the fried dough sticks were overnight fried dough sticks, and my chewing teeth were sore.
Xiaobao Chestnut Old Vegetable Market came out at the right hand side of the left intersection. My aunt at work said that the chestnuts in this store are particularly famous. Originally, we didn't expect to buy 1 kg as a snack, but we regretted not buying more after tasting a few on the bus back to Beijing. The chestnuts were particularly dense and belonged to the kind that tasted better. It seems to be 20+ a catty, and the price is still affordable.
Goubuli steamed stuffed bun, 18th Street twist, ear-shaped fried cake, sesame seed cake, fried pancake, preserved bean curd, etc.
